1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

There is evidence that angiotensin II, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), angiopoietins, and their cognate receptors participate in retinal angiogenesis. We investigated whether angiotensin type 2-receptor blockade (AT2-RB) reduces retinal angiogenesis and alters the expression of VEGF/VEGF-R2 and angiopoietin-Tie2. Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) was induced in Sprague Dawley (SD) rats by exposure to 80% oxygen from postnatal (P) days 0 to 11, followed by 7 days in room air. ROP shams were in room air from P0-18. A group of ROP rats received the AT2-RB, PD123319, by mini-osmotic pump (5 mg/kg/day) from P11-18 (angiogenesis period). Evaluation of the retinal status of the AT2 receptor indicated that this receptor, as assessed by real-time PCR, immunohistochemistry, and in vitro autoradiography, was present in the retina, was more abundant than the AT1 receptor in the neonatal retina, and was increased in the ROP model. AT2-RB reduced retinal angiogenesis. VEGF and VEGF-R2 mRNA were increased in ROP and localized to blood vessels, ganglion cells, and the inner nuclear layer, and were decreased by PD123319. Angiopoietin2 and Tie2, but not angiopoietin1 mRNA were increased with ROP, and angiopoietin2 was reduced with PD123319. This study has identified a potential retinoprotective role for AT2-RB possibly mediated via interactions with VEGF- and angiopoietin-dependent pathways.
